I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

With Hannity in tow! That's like a douche black hole.

The church in question is a former racquet club that was turned into a megachurch a few years ago.

I wish the media would follow up for once and ask him how he plans to vet a 7-year old child but I guess that's just asking too much

also, obvious, but, in Trump's lifeworld, which is based entirely around winning, lawyers are not constitutional due-process protections against injustice, but high-priced luxuries whose job is to ensure more winning.

can a reporter ask someone in the fraternal order of police who just endorsed this fuckstick if they believe in the 6th amendment

"Every election year since 2004" closetab

xp

^^ The opening paragraph of that ends:

So you might be interested to learn that on Newtown Lane, in East Hampton, Long Island, there’s a Presidential predictor with a perfect track record.

Woo-hoo! Perfect track record! The very next paragraph opens:

Every election year since 2004...

Yeah. Right. (drifts away)

taking comfort where i can in these 'interesting' times!

I guess that Washington Hatcats football rule failed last year for the first time since 1932

(uh, make that last prez election rather than last year)

From the WaPo's summary of its story on a Trump hotel:

The mogul's new property in D.C. comes with luxuries common at top hotels: high thread counts, fancy in-room coffeemaker, friendly staff who say “My pleasure” instead of “You’re welcome.” But an overnight stay also can turn into a meditation on wealth, entitlement and a half-hour wait for the valet.

“I have not gotten it right once,” she whispered. “I mean, a woman comes in with the NPR bag and the gray ponytail, and I think, O.K. We’ve got a Clinton voter here, right? Six Trump cups.”

ah yes. no NPR totebagger has ever amused themselves with gag gifts

NPR totebaggers have never amused themselves.

man he is old. I didn't realize how old he was. anyway that's interesting but it's not going to sway anyone to either side.

if Trump's numbers don't drop after 7 consecutive days of punching himself in the dick then I'm gonna really start to worry

granted, that's just from a portion of the republican primary, but he has said insane things on a weekly basis all summer and never really paid the expected price. it turns out that there are even more terrible xenophobic racists in this country than most people thought. clinton was right when she said half of his supporters were deplorable. ALL OF THEM ARE. you can't be non-deplorable and support trump. that wasn't a gaffe it was just an accidental blurting out of the truth

So, what does this years chart look like?

Herpes

xpost it's by no means comprehensive, and sorry for messiness and prominent controversies i forgot as well as longstanding positions (like how he hates muslims, immigrants, women, and anyone who isn't white) that don't have a particular gaffe date or that first became well-known before this year, but here it is

basically he can say whatever he wants, and the worst thing that can happen is that he loses 4% of his followers for a couple weeks

He's never losing his hardcore followers. The only thing we can hope for is that he sheds low-info republican voters who decide to watch five minutes of news and realize what a leaking anus of a human being he is.

As if this were a surprise:

Former President George H.W. Bush is bucking his party's presidential nominee and plans to vote for Hillary Clinton in November, according to a member of another famous political family, the Kennedys.

Bush, 92, had intended to stay silent on the White House race between Clinton and Donald Trump, a sign in and of itself of his distaste for the GOP nominee. But his preference for the wife of his own successor, President Bill Clinton, nonetheless became known to a wider audience thanks to Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the former Maryland lieutenant governor and daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

On Monday, Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page shaking hands next to the former president and this caption: "The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

In a telephone interview, Townsend said she met with the former president in Maine earlier today, where she said he made his preference known that he was voting for a Democrat. “That’s what he said,” she told POLITICO.

My guess: Trump's reply will be "he doesn't look like he'll make it to election day!"

George H.W. Bush supporting Crooked Hillary. A one term loser supporting a crook. What a surprise!

One term more than you're gonna get, loser.

I really really really reeeeeally hope as many news outlets as possible go with some variation of the TRUMP IS A LOSER headline after the election.

xpost Is that real? (A question that needs to be asked daily this election cycle.)

lol no

NBC poll has Hil back up 5. And USC/LA Times tracking poll has gone 2% back to Hil

There is nothing so outrageous that I can't imagine Trump uttering/tweeting it.

OL, I'm guessing 'beyond the pale' would be something even more inappropriate about Ivanka.

May I humbly suggest YOU'RE FIRED! for any post-election Trump headlines?

you sure that tweet is fake?

What is even reality anymore? What's truth? This election is an ontological nightmare.

I'm kinda only being half facetious. Trump is wreaking some serious havoc beyond the obvious. I think the entire population of the country is gonna need an intensive civics class after the election just to ground ourselves going forward.

What kind of civics lessons are you expecting the Trump administration to endorse?

how to make taco bowls

That's an odd name for "concentration camp"

man Colbert was on fire about the birther thing last night
